SBS and EVAW Domestic Violence Strategy Seminars

Southall Black Sisters (SBS) and the End Violence against Women (EVAW) Coalition are holding a series of free consultation seminars to develop a UK-wide strategy on violence against (BME) women and girls. The seminars will be hosted by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC). These seminars will be crucial in informing the Westminster Government’s forthcoming strategy on violence against women, which is expected to be published in November 2010, and other policies around the UK. Please come along and share your experiences and ideas on the needs of BME women and girls so that they are reflected in this work.
